An observer on a sea-coast counts $45$ waves in one minute. If the wavelength of the waves is $7 \ m$,then the velocity of the waves will be (in $m/s$)

The transverse displacement $y(x, t)$ of a wave on a string is given by $y(x, t) = e^{-(ax^2 + bt^2 + 2\sqrt{ab}xt)}$. This represents a:

Which of the following equations represents a travelling wave?

$A$ transverse sinusoidal wave of amplitude '$a$',wavelength $\lambda$,and frequency $f$ is travelling on a stretched string. The maximum speed at any point on the string is $v/10$,where $v$ is the speed of propagation of the wave. If $a = 10^{-3} \ m$ and $v = 10 \ ms^{-1}$,then $\lambda$ and $f$ are given by:

$A$ wave travelling along a string is described by,
$y(x, t) = 0.005 \sin (80.0 x - 3.0 t)$
